The Healing Pond
Life changes, when we do. We heal when we want to. No one else has the power to change our lives, other than we ourselves. The moment we take charge of lives, universe also conspires to make it easy for us, as its soul purpose is to make easy, and joyous for us, to grow, live and be. Once we have done that, and healed and become whole, its time to serve the 'whole', to use our personal power to serve all that is. And that is how we grow and so does the Universe in us and beyond us.

All Healing begins with a Moment of Bliss
Posted on Nov. 8 2007
 

Give an ear to this wonderful and peaceful music, create your own valleys and lakes where you can swim and fly through to healing pastures and meadows where you can bask in sunlit paths to your own healing...  

 

 

 

WHEN WE are still in the moment, no matter what we are going through emotionally or physically, we are 'being' in the moment. And when we are so, we gradually drift towards a peaceful, and joyous state, which our spirit is always in, no matter what.  

 

Let's find thoughts, or landscapes that makes us feel good. And better still, why not find something that makes us laugh, because if we can, we are healing already.

 

No matter how depressing or alarming life might seem externally if can bring ourselves to be still in the moment, without offering resistance to the moment, we are free to be. And we are allowing our higher intelligence to step in and take us through the turmoil.

 

If we can just relax, the storm would seem to have passed on quicker, compared to when we resist or panic during the storm, storms or turmoil are essential to bring us back in alignment, as only when their is chaos new dynamics can take root. Chaos is essential part to human growth, and resisting or fearing it, is avoiding growth or maturity of our ego. A mature ego knows that things might not seem to go our way, but instinct tells it to be still and allow the new wave to wash over and take it into the new phase of life. Resistance to the moment is the only cause of disease, as the flow is healthy and blissful, yet it is challenging to constantly be a part of the harmony of life. But harmony is where well being and bliss lies, so the choice remains ours, eternally.

 

So, if we just choose to be happy, no matter how  impossible it might seem right now. If we choose to just be and we are contributing our healing. Learning to soothe ourselves is the greatest skill in self-healing, which can also be offered to anyone we wish to be healed or renewed, as healing is renewal of who we are, and soothing is how this journey begins, and that is what being healed feels like. Soothing leads to reconnection, to our well being, and with our Source. When we soothe ourselves back into reconnection, the light then seep into all parts of our life. May we all be healed back into reconnection, and soothed into the notion of our oneness with all that is, a notion we all began this journey and are aspiring for, to live a life as a beloved of the universe, is the aim of every life, and live it in the moment is our choice.

 

May we all get to remember who we really were to begin with, what we still are, within.

We Heal when we are Ready to Heal.
Posted on Jun. 6 2007
 

We Heal when we are willing to CHANGE,
We Change, when we are willing to LOVE ourselves.
We Love ourselves when we are willing to ACCEPT ourselves.

We Heal when we want to, truly. We heal when we are willing to let go of the past and its suffering and pain, suffering never makes our life better, or never is a merit for future well being.

The way forward is letting go, as new thoughts come in only when we let go our old thoughts, same goes for our state of mind and body.

We all want to heal yet few amongst us are willing to do the work required to heal. We'd rather pop a pill or wish for better times, than to look within and pull out all that is hurting within, and release it so that new energies can take its place.

The fact is that we seldom want to change, or look within, to find what ‘dis-ease’ is being reflected out, in all through our lives, as disease.

We can run away from our pain temporarily, through addictions or workaholism but that doesn't help in the long run, we cannot hide ourselves from ourselves for life.

So, instead of rushing off to a holiday, next time, why not take a deep breath, pause, stand still and look within for a while. Notice how you are creating your life through your thoughts and shadow beliefs, decide what you want to changed within. And when we do change within, it immediately is reflected on the outside, as external dis-ease is always a reflection of our reality.

Why not make our everyday the ideal place to live in, as that is what life really is, and not what we live or do during our holidays, or holy days, for that matter. Life is spiritual by nature, and it is the reconnection with the spirit that heals us. The choice of method is our prerogative.

The point of healing is now, for the moment we surrender to the moment and let go whatever you are going through in life, and flung up a prayer up to the heavens, That moment we allow the divine energies to step in and heal us, to soothe us when we are hurt, to calm us when we are agitated, and to resurrected us when we are down.

Healing begins with a silent prayer, for the divine is always willing and ready to heal us, as divine love is as unlimited as it is unconditional. 

"Let go, Let God."

Amazing

....................

HEALING MADE EASY

Your biography becomes your biology, so are you willing to listen, what your own body is trying to tell you, through its diseases. If yes, you have lots of ways to go ahead, put first you will have to be willing to let go of that dis-eased mind. The root cause of all ailments, be willing to use your illness as a guide to recovering your spirit. That is the true journey of healing.
 
To begin with learn to soothe yourself, into a state of healing. Listen close, your inner guidance will always tell you what gives you most joy and keep you all charged up through the day. If your actions are in alignment with your higher purpose, there is no chance your body will not cooperate with you, unless even that is part of your learning curve as a soul, though that is with rare souls.
 
Once you backout from your body's mission for itself, it starts showing signs of fatigue and decay sets in. Watch out for signs of discomfort, emotional aggravation which usually is the starting point of many an illness, to put it simply, its spiritual problem, to which we need to find a spiritual answer first, physical help or remedies can always work if we are willing to do the work needed, to figure out what's ailing our soul.
 
For starters:
* Find what's gives you joy, and follow it every moment whole heartedly.
* Find a creative pursuit that gives you most satisfaction, as nothing heals us faster than creative energies.
* Never hate or fight your illness, as it is not your enemy it merely represents an ailing part of your soul, you will only hate yourself. It is not your fault either, it is only part of growing up, when we know better we do better. Accept the ilness completely, as that is the starting point of healing, and the end of fighting within.
* Send a small prayer upwards, for healing.

 

THE ART OF ALLOWING
 
Ask and it's Given - this popular maxim has been at the center all teachings. It suggests that the moment we express a desire, it is answered by the Universe immediately.
 
Now it is our task is to allow it, by believing its happening already. You cannot perform a miracle by fearing it will not happen, that is why all miracles are above all, miracles of faith. They are created through our beliefs, in their creation as well as our worthiness, in receiving them.
When faith that equals a grain of sand can move a mountain, imagine what a mountain of faith can do.
 
When we ask for something, be it healing or a better life, the Universe immediately sets in motion, energies to ensure that greater health, well being and abundance flows towards us. It is our thought that creates our world for us. Our true power resides within, as that is where we create our kingdom.
 
Another way of looking at the same maxim is - We attract what we think about the most.
 
So, if we think healthy we will only get more healthy, and if it is wealth that we think of often, wealthy we will get, it is as simple as that. Neither loopholes any where, nor any special technique to be learned anywhere, only an awareness of our ever single thought, conscious as well unconscious.
 
Strict adherence to this rule requires constant practice, which means making all parts of us, conscious. So that we release no more unconscious thoughts into the universe, blocking our own legitimate desires, and thus making us receive all those unwanted experience which we think we never asked for, consciously. Though in real terms, it is what stays at the top of our mind that gets attracted to us.
 
So, if we stay focus mostly on what we ‘don’t’ want, which is what we fear experiencing, that is exactly what will get attracted to us, regardless what we might be wanting to experience consciously. So, the real challenge is to get conscious of our thinking process by bring awareness to it, thus we would be able to take charge of our thinking and thus our life, as we would then send out only those though what we want to experienced in real life.
 
This shift back to our well-being and goodness, is what all spiritual practices are all about, taking us closer to our goodness. And all goodness is godness in action.

THE PROBLEM ARISES when we continue to feel the way we were when we first 'asked' for a better life or healing that is sad, tense, depressed or disconnected from the source energy or in other words unloved, we would only block the new energy to flow in.
 
And if our resistance to the new energy continues, and so do our asking or prayers eventually the build up would become so strong that we would experience a breakdown, either physical, or through an experience of a trauma that would break past through our defenses and resistance and make us aware of it, so that at least then we can let go of it.
 
As for the fresh energy to flow in, we have to vibrate at the same frequency as it is. The new energy cannot enter us we are vibrating at a different frequency as we only attract energy of the frequency we are vibrating in the moment. That is why happy people attract happy experiences, sad people sad, angry people angry and fearful people more fear filled experiences, unless they choose to feel differently in the moment.
 
That is why a joyous prayer of gratitude can create a more conducive environment for letting the healing energies in, rather than pleading prayer said in a state pain, anguish or sadness, which keep us in a state of non-receiving as long we continue to feel that way. That is why, thanking in advance for whatever we have asked for, or considering it done or given, immediately takes us to receiving state.
That is how, great miracles are performed, on the basis of our faith, in Universe's well intentions in our well being.
 
The flow is always available for anyone who is willing to allow. To allow is to thrive, and be happy, healthy and live a life of full potential, not just for ourselves but also for the universe as well.
 
Just as letting go, allowing it also our responsibility, Source energy's answers are immediate and precise, always.
 
BEING A PART OF THE FLOW - THE DANCE OF LIFE
All life is a flow, towards and from the Source, it is a dance of harmony. We are a part of this giant flow called life. We flow when we are in tune with our inner music - our intuition.
 
When we listen to our inner rhythms and dance in harmony with the outer universe that is constantly changing its rhythms, we create a new dance every moment. The flow is a creative force as it never creates any  two moments alike, just as no two sunsets, now two human beings are alike.
 
TO FLOW IS IN OUR VERY NATURE, just as to be in harmony is in our very nature too. Just as is the case to nature itself, it never questions any new rhythm or the flow, it just flows.
 
The problem with human beings is that we have a Freewill and can choose to step out of the flow if we want to. That is when we feel a resistance within, as we cut off ourselves from the rhythm of the flow.
The more we distance ourselves from the flow the more disharmony, we would feel within, through our emotional awareness. That guides us or rather informs us how in flow we are, as when we are in flow we feel harmonious and expansive, any restriction that we feel within it usually a resistance to the flow that we are creating within ourselves.
 
This would eventually manifest as a physical reality if ignored for the long time.
So to come back in harmony with the flow is to get healthy once again, as a body in harmony with its environment is always healthy. As within, so without.
 
THE CREATIVE LIFE FORCE
Human life is an amazingly creative place to be in, where every day, we get to experience new experiences, that brings us constantly closer to our spirit. We live in a life that is so designed to give us experiences that we push to give up our attachment to our physical world and constantly move towards realizing our spiritual self.
 
When ever we see our physical reality being dismantled or breaking down, we usually start asking some pertinent questions about life like, Do I have another reality beyond this physical body? or do I end with this body? Fear of death, usually terrifies us and makes us question our attachment to our physical realities and rightly so. 
 
Everyday we go through new experiences that demands from us, new and better responses, responses that are creative in nature, and ensure that in future, we go through better outcomes then we already have.
 
Sometimes it takes a bad experience that teaches us how to choose better, the next time around. And once we learn to do that we grow, not just as a human being but also as a soul. By making better choices, more aligned to our well being.
 
 That is when the first desire to change is born within. And unless we learn to do that we would continue to resist the creative life force that life is, as is constantly pushing us to grow and to come more and more in alignment with our inner Self.
 
Often, we fight the flow, because we do not want to change, though in truth each time we resist or fight against it, we are only fighting against ourselves. So, all this constant fighting to maintain status quo in life, takes it heavy toll on our physical and mental self, we loose vital energy each time we try to fix our life externally, instead of allowing it to teach us what it is so trying to.
 
It is resistance to change that manifests in our body as stress and it is this stress that over time, combines with our emotional stress or our discomfort at going against the flow of life, creates various physical ailments, that tell us to stop in our tracks and listen.
 
This resistance to the flow can often be felt intuitively, as an emotional discomfort when we are pushed beyond our comfort zone, and are made to respond in a new way. We often rely on our mind to find solution, but the problem is that the mind is not a creative place, it can never gives us creative solutions, it can only offer permutations and combinations of old solutions based on its past experiences, that simply are ways to avoid re-experiencing old fearful experiences. So to respond creatively we have trust upon the creative aspect of our personality the intuitive self.
 
That is why, when we are totally in tune with our intuitive self, we can respond creatively to every single situation in life, that is when we learn to dance, this dance of life, in harmony, and we grow continuously and joyously, rather than through painful reminder of the places we have been resisting the flow of life.

 
 
The Healing Journey - Darkness to Light
Posted on Jun. 2 2007

"O Lord, Lead Us From Untruth To Truth,
Lead Us From Darkness To Light,
Lead Us From Death To Immortality..."
- A Vedic prayer

Life is a journey of healing, of becoming whole. It is purpose of our incarnation, to becoming whole and then serving the whole, as we are of and from the whole. We cannot escape this journey, none of us can, no matter how hard and how far we might try to avoid it; one day we all have face ourselves, and that day we begin to grow, and change, as we realize that a sole reason we have taken birth, is to heal the broken parts of our personality.

Before we are born, we choose which splintered parts of our personality we want to heal for this lifetime. So we first allow  them incarnate, through various experiences of darkness that help us recreate them or rather remind us of their presence in us, so that we can then recognize them and let go of them consciously into the light. It is the illumination of a splinter that initiates its healing, and awareness is illumination.

Each time, we choose to incarnate we also choose the parents we would incarnate through, as they collectively represent the splinters we want to heal within, and the gifts we want to explore in this life. So it is a journey with a dual purpose of exploring our light as well as our darkness, usually we are born with the exact gifts that would help us illuminate our darkness. That is why it is said, that what we bring into light will save us, and that what we don't will destroy us.

TO BECOME WHOLE or to heal is a soul’s perennial desire, once it rises up within us, there us no way we can turn back to our former life, and expect things to be the same, things can never be the same, once the desire to heal has surface. It is birthing of this desire that takes the longest.  And sometimes it even takes an experience of the same darkness that we need to bring out from within, to bring it out of its shell, and that is when arises the possibility of its healing, by merging back into the light.
 
Though, just as we cannot loose weight just by watching fitness videos or reading fitness books, we cannot grow spiritually or change our lives just by wishing them too, or by reading spiritual books or learning the spiritual vocabulary.
 
The reason is that, the mind or the intellect cannot heal the spirit, only the heart can, and a true connection with the divine can.
 
HEALING DEMANDS hard work and a soul commitment every day of our life, for the rest of our lives.  For life changes, WHEN we do. And when we take charge of lives, the Universe conspires to make it easy for us, to assist us as our partner, as we begin to shift base to our power centre – the soul.
Then our task is to figure out, how can we use our personal power to be of service to the humanity. That is when our power grows, as we have used it, the way intended by the Universe.

 

“I WANT TO HEAL”. This is how most healing experiences begin, with a solemn prayer. A wish, a desire to have a better life, flung up to the heavens.
 
And once the desire has been set in motion, the Universe respond immediately, but then it is our job to allow it in. The more we are open, relaxed and attentive the more fresh energy can course through our veins, our life, and the faster we heal.
 
Another important factor in healing is trust or faith, for if we trust even a placebo can do wonders, where miraculous medicines would otherwise fail.
 
Healing is a matter of heart, and not of the mind. It is by far, the way life chooses to teach us our healing lessons for a lifetime. That is why reasoning and logic don't work in healing. That is why people with simple faith heal the fastest, while the more intellectual and wordy the people get the difficult it gets for them to, not just to enjoy life, but to heal as well. As healing begins when we allow the light in, as being 'light' ourselves, is when we are letting it in.
 
The presence of disease indicates a disconnection from the source energy and what better way to reconnect than a heartfelt prayer. 
 
DISCOVERING THE TRUE NATURE OF OUR DISEASE
Every ailment or disorder; be it mental, physical or societal is a creation of dis-ease within in our energy system. Each time the flow is stopped, a disturbance is created in the energy system and we begin to feel its effect immediately, as our emotional symptoms immediately makes us aware that something that is undesirable by the soul, is happening though if we continue to ignore the symptoms, these emotions settle in our energy system like sediments, and gradually create physical residue, which grow on to become actual ailment, that is when we sit up and say, something is wrong somewhere, but the true point of healing is in asking ourselves, what is it that I am doing wrong here, what can do better, how can I live better?
 
Not every time though, the presence of a disease is an indication of negativity, a negative behaviour or belief within, but sometimes, it is only teacher we would listen to or something that soul demanded in its life script to help it learn certain life lessons. As always our disease tells us what we need to heal within. Seeing it as a guide is the first step towards using our life, to heal our soul.
 
Also when we pray, we are allowed the situation as the soul sees it, and that is when serenity sets in and we allow love to flow in readily and we heal. So allowing love or healing in is an act of Grace on our part.
 
When we allow love in we become channel of Grace, for ourselves and those around, as divine love and grace is always available, to anyone willing and open.
 
To heal also means to soothe, to bring ease in, so if you want help anyone heal, help them relax into the present moment, help them believe that they are loved. The same holds true for personal healing as moving towards healed state of mind is the first step towards healing.
 
So letting go of the past, no matter how big or overwhelming it might have been, dropping it in the past and beginning to believe that once we have asked, we are being healed is a start, and a vital start that, we need to make.
 
Moving towards healed state of mind is the first step towards, so letting go of the past, no matter how big or overwhelming it might have been, dropping it in the past and believing that once we have asked, we are being healed is the start, and a vital start we need to make.
 
"I am being healed, everything I do, every breath I take is healing me," when you live those words, our life becomes a healing prayer, that leads to miraculous healings. Stay with that thought in the present moment and you shall heal.
 
Pray for the healing of as many people as you can, and you shall be healed faster.


"May our lives be filled with God's light, love and Grace."

 
 
TOOLS OF HEALING
Posted on May. 28 2007
 

RECOGNIZING THE PRESENCE OF AN OPPOSITE IN US

Every exaggerated habit in us, our every addiction and every twisted part represents a corresponding part in us that is twisting it, and creating it in our interior. Every behaviour that you are 'proud' of, or show off, has its contradictory behaviour hiding right behind it, be it positive or negative; like aggressiveness hides timidity, and vice versa.
It is the discovery and the acceptance of the opposites, the contradictions in us that, demands from us to summon our spirit from all time zone, that is stuck in through non-forgiveness or non-acceptance and start our spiritual journey of self integration and centering ourselves in our soul.


The reason, Shadow Work is our true mystical journey is because in the process of confronting our fears and shadow side, we need the divine, the wisdom present right behind them, like the kernel inside every human experience is divine presence. So to confront our shadows, and bring us back into a composite whole, requires the presence of the divine by our side, at every step. For it is the divine that calls out to us from behind every shadow and fear and so does His light, that awaits our presence on the other side, it is a journey of epic proportions, but is made possible in a single breath too, through Divine grace. Often mystics experience it and words fall short in describing such experiences of their tryst with the divine - the destiny of every soul.

 

EVERY TIME WE TRY TO HIDE a part of us from others, we become secretive; we move into darkness and create a shadow in us. This shadow, or an unaccepted part of us, lurks behind us, in the darkness of our minds, or in our spiritual closet, until we access it accidentally, let it out into the light to disastrous consequences, as a repressed habit often is a more powerful force than we can handle.

That is why, it is essential to consciously heal all our shadows, or we would continue to fight these shadows externally, all our lives, as shadowy people and experiences that would step into our lives, as reflections of our shadow self, and unnecessarily so.
Once we illuminate the obvious part of our shadow self, its corresponding hidden part automatically surfaces, and that is when true healing can happen, through acceptance and merger of both, and finding the middle ground in between the chasm, of the opposite ends. The tug of war ends and we can behind true peace and authentic power within.

 

For example, a controlling person would meet controlling people and situations in life, which he would try to supersede through a power struggle and eventually exhaust himself, till he can manage to confront his own controlling habits. A controlling person, bullies himself first, his intuitive self, and aggressive denies his authentic self to express itself, at all occasion, because he fears getting rejected or hurt, if he relaxes into his self. This might also be due to a having experienced a controlled childhood or he might have got hurt while being himself, or when he become  vulnerable to someone, and ended up feeling feel powerless and controlled. So now to get back his power from the world, he has this urgent and perennial need from the outside world to heed to his power and authenticate it.
Otherwise he would continue to feel so, as he feels incapable of authenticating his own power, and gives away his power subconsciously. And unless he learns to take active charge of his life, through his inner self, and his intuition, and heal his childhood wounds, he would continue to fight for approval, worthiness and power from the external world.

EXPLORING AND RECOGNIZING THE SHADOW SIDE
What do you avoid in life, experiencing or meeting in person, what you avoid is your shadow, what you run away from are your fears. Look out for people you hate, or people who irritate you the most, or who make you most comfortable they usually represent our shadow side, especially if they are in our close family circle both personal and professional. Such people often are excellent mirrors to us as they make us aware of us the way we treat ourselves internally.
 
If  we are too self repressive or disrespectful with our self, we will meet people where ever we might go, as vibrationally we would attract people and experiences that make us feel the same way, the way we treat ourselves.
 
Life always reflects on us, our own behaviour. People who are abused as children often continue to attract abusive people into their lives even as adults, unless they learn to listen to their inner voices and stand up for themselves according as they couldn't as children, out of fear. Confronting our childhood fears is confronting our shadow in real terms, and then telling ourselves, it is only a fear nothing real, repeatedly, is the way out.
 
Presence of an aggressive parent or boss, would make you aware of your own aggressive side, which might show up as passive aggressor or as excessive self controller or a reckless behaviour at some other part of your life just to take revenge from this aggressive side of yours or just to let off steam, as their is little or no avenue to be aggressive openly, this would be a childhood practice that you would have to unlearn as an adult. 

 

SELF OBSERVANCE is another excellent way is by observing how we respond to an intuitive guidance, or how often do we ignore our inner voice.
 
We have to ask our self candidly, are we too aggressive to restrain ourselves when our intuition is advising us to, or are we too passive, scared or doubtful and ignore it, when it is advising us to stand up for ourselves or our beliefs.
 
This would mean that we have recognized the presence of two primary confrontational sides of our personality and all internal struggles are fight between these two shadows - the active and passive sides. The best way out is to surrender to our higher self, and then follow the intuitive guidance whole heartedly, no matter disconcerting it might feel to the ego.
 
Ego will always try to keep you safe, as it is a fear based survival mechanism, and intuition is what will always push to make a choice based on the empowered self - the Higher self. Connecting with the higher self and making choices accordingly is getting empowered.

FEARFUL SHADOWS. Sometimes our shadow side is so scary and fearful that we seldom would go there consciously unless propelled by a coincidental life circumstances or when we are down and out or very fearful or cornered, and sudden we get to see our ugly side for once.
 
But before it gets into hiding once again, due to fear of persecution the challenge it to embrace it completely within, by offering our unconditional love and acceptance to it blatantly, thus dissolving it into the light forever. Simply telling it, “I accept you completely, as you are," is enough.
 
Though stronger shadows need repeated transcension into the light or simply our loving attention each time they show up all dirty after a day's play from the playground. Like a loving parent we have to simply walk them straight into the bathroom of light!
 

ACCEPTING THE SHADOW
The most challenging yet intrinsic part of healing, or becoming a whole is accepting all that we are, and a part of us is our shadow. Most of our lives either it scares us or we hide it so much from the world that we start hiding it from ourselves as well, it is coming out of spiritual closet, what shadow healing demands.
 
To get rid of shadow we only have to illuminate it with our awareness, and through our awareness it is gone forever, dissolved in the light of our love. Acceptance is the only healing tool we will ever need to learn, ever. Self acceptance is self- healing.

 

LOVE OR FEAR, THE ONLY CHOICE IN EVERY CHOICE.
We have two sides to our behaviour one that are motivated by love, and others that are motivated by fears. Shadow is the fear that activates our hidden beliefs, pattern of behaviour and response to everyday life situations or moments of crisis, when we are called to show our true self, do we respond out of fear or out of love?
We are called repeatedly in life to confront our shadow side so that we can make a choice, at the moment of making choice, and make a choice out of love, guided by out intuition, and not our survival mechanisms which are based on fears, of the past experiences.
 
SEEKING THE LIGHT, ILLUMINATING THE SHADOW
Confronting our shadow side, requires bringing our awareness into its existence, so that we can look into it face to face and then illuminating it just like we illuminate, our bad habits, our addictions and our shadow desires with the light that we receive from the lighter side of our psyche. That is what takes to bring in all the broken splinters of our psyche back into our centre, and that is when we become a whole once again.
 
God wants all that we are, to heal us, as He is, all that we are, so denying the divine our complete self harm us eventually, as that what we do not bring into the light destroys us.
 
And when we illuminate our dark side, to the Light that He is, we become the Light that we were to begin with. Embracing our darkness without prejudice, guilt or shame is the only way out.
 
Otherwise we remain trapped in them, and in our shadows because of them, till life pushes them out so violently, that it destroys what we know as life, as life is a journey into the light. Making that journey consciously is empowerment, becoming actively involved in clearing up our shadow, can be our toughest soul work.

 

HEALING OUR INNER CHILD
Each time you recognize or confront a shadow immediately enter into a prayer and offer the shadow side to the Divine for healing, to be dissolved back into the light.
 
Hating, or judging our shadow will only energizing it, seeing it as broken splinter of our personality is the compassion it needs to feel safe enough to merge back into ourselves. We can even see it as an angry part of ourselves, a little errant child, just trying to get our attention, or trying to get back us.
 
Every 'bad' habit is a shadow is a coping mechanism learnt by that inner child of our and our job now as adults is to reparent it, so that it can unlearn it. Remind it again and again or shaming it will only make the habit or the shadow more lasting.
 
Healing the shadow actually requires us to uncover our hidden and sometime deep seated wounds that keep activating our shadow side. These wounds are normally hidden in our childhood experience, when we are robbed of our light, by an experience of darkness or simply put an experience of fear.
 
Healing our inner child requires ability to walk into murky waters of childhood memories and discovering those often hidden memories that control our lives, as we have ignored their healing.
 
Every child needs to be soothed when it gets scared or hurt, just as we do ourselves as adult. Every off behaviour is a learned experience by a child’s mind as a coping mechanism to overcome a fearful experience, as it is more of a survival mechanism; it seldom is logical or sensible as to an adult.
 
But now as adult we can address these issues with compassion and non judgmental approach as a parent to a child who had erroneously picked a bad habit or bad word from someone.
 
Merging the two opposite sides we discover as a result of our shadow work, is a great way of freeing ourselves from our past. That is why shadow work is a great spiritual practice we can embark upon, whenever we feel ready.

 
 
TAKING CHARGE OF OUR HEALING
Posted on May. 22 2007
 

 

Let go of the Mind. The mind cannot heal, nor can it aid in it.

 

When we surrender to our compassionate side, the Higher Self steps in to our aid, in our healing, by allowing the divine to step into your energy system and heal us, we make space for a miracles in our lif, and each one of us is worthy of a miracle, may be two.

 

An enlightening lecture by Abraham-Hicks: STOP FIXING, START SAVORING!

Stay in the Moment. Giving up the need to have a perfect past is an excellent, and perhaps the only way to move forward in life or heal for that matter.

 

Begin to Believe. Ask and it is given, the moment we ask for healing or to be comforted, the universe sends its healing energies to us, now it is our task to allow it in, by believing that we are being healed, and cured of our ills.  If you follow the Law of Attraction, you would know that to heal, we have to step into a healing state, that a state of complete relaxation and believing that we are being healed. It is no wonder that believers heal faster, compared to non-believers, who believe they are all alone, out in this world.

 

Slow Down n' Take it Easy. Normally we are in such a rush for everything in life, even to get better that to slow down means to be inactive, and the moment we realize that we immediately reach out for our cup of coffee or tea, to jump start ourselves, as a result we are never slow enough to tune in to our inner guidance. We talk so loudly and non-stop in our minds, that we seldom listen to ourselves, no wonder we always feel so 'unheard'.
 
Be still and Listen. The reason taking it easy turns out to be such gift for all of us, is because that is when we start listening to our inner guidance, and are automatically guided to better health and well being. So, first, know that you already know, and then slow down to listen. Your inner voice will give you all the answers you need for the present moment, to make all the best choices, you need to make in the moment, which is true wisdom, after all.

 

When you slow down, you will be able to go with the flow, as you’d be able to hear the subtle changes in the flow, as it happens moment to moment.

 

Make Peace with Who you are. Ease comes when we learn to be comfortable with ourselves, as we are. Most of our lives we are busy, trying to be someone else, someone smarter, better or slimmer, as we are not really happy with, who we are within, because we didn’t get appreciated enough for that, so now we can do that ourselves, by learning to appreciate our spirit, we let go of our dependency on our external reality to boost our self esteem.
 
We learn to celebrate our birth, not just our birthdays; we learn to honour our birth and its purpose, and stop worrying about survival issues, when we come into our core, we realize that survival is a given, the crucial thing is to find our soul’s calling in our life and peruse it, whole heartedly.

Learning to Appreciate. Let's start with learning to appreciate all that we are, as once we do that it becomes easy to appreciate others, and enjoy life as it is, instead of staying grumpy or depressed.  Life becomes an experience of joy when we learn to be 'in joy' ourselves, when we learn to 'enjoy' it.

 

As a rule more joy equals more well-being, and less criticism and judgments means easier our healing would get. So, don't worry, be happy, sounds like an excellent advice, and in any case worry only adds to our suffering and doesn't add any thing to our well being, so excuse your way into worrying. If we just be, life will automatically lead us to greater well-being and abundance.

 

Everyday find new things in and around your life that you can appreciate, especially the details of your life, as that is where God is.
 
Take it easy, be playful, its only life, not a performance based test, God has set us on, so take it is easy, do the best you can, joyously. It is only a playground, where we are learning to enjoy whatever we are doing the moment. It is about learning to enjoy our presence, more and more. The task doesn't matter as long as we are relaxed, and complete connected to our self, as then everything happens as it should.
 
The more easily we take life, the easier life gets. And not just that we can start taking life playfully and that is what life would get - playful, joyous and fun! 


 

Allow Chaos - Give up Control. When we choose, to deliberately to stay calm and centered, in the midst of life's chaotic circumstances, which would have otherwise thrown us into a tizzy, of sheer panic of non-responsiveness or clichéd responses, we learn to take it easy, and realize that truly nothing is so important as we make it to be, after all it is only life.

When the ‘normal’ is disrupted, it is sign that now is the time to learn to respond creatively to this situation. Old or clichéd responses only recreate familiar consequences. But to respond creative we have to stay in touch with our creative centre, right through the chaos - the Self. And that happens only when we stay relaxed, and calm in the moment, no matter what storm is blowing through our life on the outside. That is when better solutions flow in, and ease and harmony set in once again.
 
Our job really is to only allow, better life to move in; by making place for it, and letting go old thoughts, beliefs, thinking and response patterns move out.
 
Stay Happy. Law of attraction says that the more happy you are right now, the more happiness you will attract towards you, so it is no surprise that happy or optimistic people always stay happy than sad and grumpy people who believe that it is a tough life.  The truth is that we create our own reality, through our thoughts and beliefs about the world. By the way we think about the world we create that world out of our inner reality. So if you don’t like your external reality, change within, begin by becoming happy right now and you are already there!  If we believe it is safe world, we will be so, and if we believe that we can all live abundantly, happily and healthily forever we will, as that is what we will then, attract into our life.  Stay happy and passionate about each day as it really is a gift that we all have received from the Universe, on this day. Be happy, and stay happy by following your bliss, every single moment!  This is life, create it the way you want it. 

 

“Life is what happens to you, while you are busy making other plans."- John Lennon


PRAYER & GRATITUDE. Nothing adds to our personal well being than an attitude of gratitude, counting our blessings, privileges life has offered us, without our asking is a great way to start your day.

Knowing that neither this day, nor this moment will never come again, is a great way to remind us to savour all that we are experiencing in the moment.

 

Giving up our sense of entitlement, helps us stay humble and grounded, knowing that our privileges are part of Universes graces, as Universe owes us nothing, absolutely nothing; no matter how much pain we might have gone through in life, we all have to work, step by step towards our healing. A simple prayer for others in need of love and healing also adds to our own healing, as it expands not just our heart but also our horizon.
 ........................ 


St. Teresa's Prayer:

May today there be peace within.

May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.

May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.

May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you...

May you be content knowing you are a child of God...
Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us.
